Third time lucky at The Generous Squire

In celebration for Miss Jimmy’s birthday we went to The Generous Squire for dinner.

I had actually been to The Generous Squire a couple of times prior for birthday lunches at work and hadn’t been a fan. The first time I went was ok but the squid I had ordered was too battered for my liking so that was just a poor selection on my behalf but the second time we went, I ordered the $20 tasting plate which arrived 45 minutes after I had ordered. It was also after everyone else had finished their meal, the worse thing was that I was absolutely starving that day and had been looking forward to lunch and really didn’t have a whole lot of time to waste – I had literally 15/20 minutes to eat before I had to rush back to work for a meeting. To top it off the food was cold and tasteless.

So anyway from my previous experience you can gather that I wasn’t that keen on going to The Generous Squire for dinner. But Bocca which I had planned on taking Miss Jimmy to was closed and she had blisters which meant walking wasn’t an option so The Generous Squire it was…

I was craving Bocca’s gnocchi and because of my bad experience at The Generous Squire last time, I was even pickier than usual with my food so I opted for the safe option and had a steak sandwich.

The safe option paid off 🙂 the caramelized onion was delicious and the steak was cooked perfectly and well done as requested.

I have foodie cravings all the time and sometimes at very odd hours, hence the name of this food blog, where I share my love for Perth food, writing and interviews with inspirational foodies who have made their mark in the food scene. I also own Crust Mount Lawley with my burger eating half burger boy and have a mini me who eats all my food, she goes by the name junior burger on the blog :)

Waiting become such a relative thing. When in a rush, the food can't come soon enough, but when you have nothing on after the meal, eh, it's not a big deal.
45 minutes is a while to wait though - in any case.

I think it's worse when you're hungry and what's served after waiting all that time is not as expected! And in my case I had to try to eat it all in 15 minutes to make it my meeting on time :( But yes completely agree, waiting when in a rush is completely different to waiting on the go.

about foodie cravings

foodie cravings all started in 2011 when Michelle decided to record her Perth eats so that she could remember what she loved and avoid any average dining experiences. It has since grown to be a leading Perth food blog featuring Top Perth Eats (both old and new restaurants) as well as in the kitchen cooking and product related posts. To keep up with all the foodie cravings Perth presents, Michelle has handpicked a small team of writers to help her eat through Perth.
